I searched and didn't find anyone running these on a 2012 JKU. I'm waiting for my 2012 Black Forest Green Sport S to come in and am seriously considering having new wheels and tires ready to swap when it gets here.

I think they will fit with no problems. I don't believe the calipers are different in size for the 2 doors vs the 4 doors unless they've changed it for the 2012s. PM discount tire direct on here. They are a forum member and make sure.

haha his thread did it for me too... I am thinking of that combo as well.
I think the part that got me was the increased gas mileage.. maybe a fluke, but its forced me to really examine wheels for the best on all aspects.

Also, what does "19" backspacing refer too? I have only seen that in inches and i know thats not what this is...

It's 19mm offset not backspacing. Even though both let you know how the wheel will set on the vehicle, they are measured differently. Backspace is in inches and is measured from the back side of the wheel from the center to the outside edge. Offset is measured in millimeters and is measured from the offset from center of the wheel.

Yes. I installed the bumpstops from my TF 2.5 coil kit because the 33x12.5R15s stick out a good bit from the flares and might have rubbed into the flare when pushed enough. I like the way they look too.

Bumpstops limit the upward front/rear axle travel. Sway links limit the downward travel. You do not need them to run the wheel/tires your getting. You need them with a 2.5 height lift however and most kits come with them. You don't need anything but the wheels/tires your getting to run them. Are you still planning a lift though?

Mine aren't due in until next week, the MB72's were backordered. I just picked up my Jeep yesterday and put some miles on the stock tires. I'll post some pics and update this thread once I get the tires on....Can't wait.

I spoke w/ Earl (ext 51880) at DTD. According to him, the 15" MB 72s will fit a 2012 w/out interference from the brake caliper.

Be aware that the only availbe BS would be 3.25". He also stated that they are only showing 1 in stock right now as since the manufacturer is closed today, he won't be able to find out the availability until Monday. He says we can still get the Black Friday discount if we order Monday.

Got the tires Wednesday and got them bolted on Thursday. Here's a few pics. They are not the greatest, but the show the look on a 4 door

ESP123 or anyone else running this setup, do you get a "jump" on occasion? Since putting these on, I get what feels like a really quick "Jump" or like something catches for a brief second. Not sure how else to describe it. I don't see anything rubbing and the calipers seem to be fine...not sure what it is.

Overall, ride is smooth, no issues at highway speed, and after calibrating with the AEV Procal, speedometer is accurate. I did air down, cold, to 28 PSI.

Love it. I have decided to go with the MB Black Chaos 5 instead for the 72s. Thought the little bit of polished on the bead will set them off against the black of the JKU. Went to Discount Tire for a price quote and learned GY increased the price so the out the door with tire and wheel is now $1934 and change. While shopping with the wife at Sam’s Club I found they too sell the GY Duratracks and can get them for me at $1086 and change. That’s a $265 savings but would rather have the wheels and tires come from the same place so need to see if DT will come close to the Sam’s price.

Huh? What size tire/wheel? I just bought 5 33x12.5R15 DuraTracs from DT for $185 each, and that's before the $140 in rebates I'll get from Goodyear and Tread Lightly.
